Preparing to set call and pekin duck eggs! Hatch day should be March 4, 2021 if all goes well!

F that crazy person. You should totally do an article on Quasimodo. To keep the Shawsies of the world from lopping heads, and taking names.

Right?
no doubt.
She might save lives with that article.

I found one of my missing hens today, a grey, not a snowy. She’s on a nest under a boat leaned up against the side of my garage.

So happy to read you found her Have you ever had a duck go missing and then return a month later with ducklings?
Has anyone had this happen? I know it happens with chickens and I assume it happens with ducks, but I'm curious if any of you have experienced this. I imagine seeing them walking back with babies is the cutest scene ever

I’ve hoped for it, when they’ve gone missing, but never had it happen. I’ve had a few go off and hide their nests, but I find them within the month, before they hatch. Like this girl. I have no idea how long she has been sitting. I have too many greys that look identical, and didn’t count them individually.

Here are the types of places to look.
Excuse the clutter, this is behind my garage

Puddle has almost no neck. She resembles a potato. I call her Pud. Might start calling her Spud instead.

I was planning to put together some progression pictures and some of my videos, but hadn’t really thought of making it an article. But I could do that.

I posted a few pics in a FB group, most everyone was complimentary and supportive, except for one person that said I should have taken her to a vet, even though I had already said I couldn’t “justify” a vet visit. I replied that it was definitely vet-worthy, but I couldn’t afford it, so I tried to do what I could do myself. So those types of people always make me regret posting stuff.

You really should, I bet people would find it very educational.

@Overo Mare I am absolutely obsessed with Puddle! She is extremely adorable!

I realized I never did post a picture of the mischievous boys… here’s Valentine and Blue!

They opted for a late night again last night…
